Welcome to the forum. I would start by calling the campground you were going to use and ask about "storage" for a week. Bill

The Op's problem was it is getting to cold. I asked what the outside temps were but got no answer. I am inclined to believe the only problem is it is working to good because the setting is to low for the ambient temps. Bill

Yes it would be a good idea to start with no frost. However I was pointing out the fact that the presence of frost on the fins does not mean the unit is not operating normally. These are not frost free units. Bill

Desertdeals69, I hope you have a good place to stay for a few extra days till this weather pattern moves through. The routes south are getting hammered with ice. Bill

Be aware the fins will frost over during normal operation. These are not frost free units. Bill

My question to the OP is what is your axle weight rating front and rear? Was it just the tires overloaded? Bill

The problem is you let the magic smoke out. I think Jo is on the right track. Bill

Watch that weather and let the roads get clear. I wouldn't want to drive on black ice. You don't want to get that new paint job all scratched up. Bill

Welcome to the forum and to that unfortunate group of the first dig. Bill

Welcome to the forum and congratulations on your new coach.Are you hiring someone to look over the coach before you buy it? Be sure to check the date codes on ALL the tires. You don't want to be replacing all the tires right away. 7 years is the standard most go with. If reasonable care and maintenance was done I don't see a problem. 110,000 is a low mileage engine in diesels. You were asking about what might wear out and you mentioned brakes. I don't remember anyone needing to replace brakes on a diesel pusher. You might if you don't use the engine brake in about 250,000 miles. I am NOT a fan of aftermarket warranties. Bank the money. Most of these companies are awfully good at denying claims. Later when you have time there are dozens of post about warranty company problems. Do you have a planned route back to the Denver area? I would leave Elkhart on I-90 West to I-80 you could just follow I-80 but if the weather looks bad you might want to drop down to I-70. I drove That route this summer and it wasn't as bad as some make out. You are not getting into the main Chicago area. I would make it a fairly short day the first day. How long do you have to make the trip back? When are you doing the trip? When you start out take your time, here are a couple videos you might like. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=y5MSGqfh8z0 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ldekjpYQ7Qw If you have any questions please ask.

Welcome to the forum Ricky. Like Herman said look carefully at the plastic for cast in numbers. Bill

Welcome to the forum. Try setting it to the warmest setting and hold the door open for 5-10 minutes. What is the outside temp? You might try shutting it off for a couple minutes then re starting. Let us know how it works.Bill

Welcome and sorry to hear about your problems. Were you hooked up to shore water when it froze? Have you tried using the water pump? Long time ago I spent some time in real cold weather in a older coach. Do you have a small ceramic/electric heater you can put in the bay with the water pump? When you get it thawed out I would fill the onboard tank and as obedb said drain and store the water hose or buy the heated one if you are going to be in the cold for an extended period. The next problem is when you have to dump. I would place the extra heat in with the drain valves to make shure they aren't frozen. Definitely don't leave your sewer hose connected and the gray water valve open. You could end up with a big tube of ice. Yes this is from first hand experience. Bill

Where can I send the "Welcome to Texas" package. Bill

Are you scheduling your travel to be in Chandler for the rally? I know what spotty internet is like. Bill

Are you leaving before or after Chandler? Bill

But it works every time. Bill

Welcome to the forum and congratulations on your new coach. In a word no. I think you would be better off putting what the extended warranty cost in a savings account. I would read and understand the manufactuers warranty. Follow maintenance requirements to the letter and keep good records. The most important thing is go have fun with your new coach. Bill

What you mean the water standing in the shower isn't the"full tank" indicator..... Bill

Yes that is a good report. What was your TBN numbers? What lab did you use? Bill

Try sending him a personal message. Bill

Welcome to the forum. That is a good idea to cancel the insurance you won't need while parked. Bill

Carl just wait a while and you may be under 6'. Bill

I would definitely were some good rubber gloves now that you have it full of draino. Bill

If you can't get in Grizzly you might look at Buffalo Run. Basic campground but everything worked. Buffalo Run RV Park & Cabins, 3402 US-20, Island Park, ID 83429, buffalorunrvpark.com, (208) 558-7112 It is a little further out 20 but not to bad. There are some interesting things to see in the area. You should drive the Mesa Falls Scenic Byway.The Tetons are doable from there but next time I may relocate closer. Bill
